HARLOT
Andy Warhol
USA 1964
67 min
V'05
In the 30s, Jean Harlow used to be a sex symbol like Marilyn Monroe at a later point--young, beautiful and blonde, and a real woman. Of course, she is being played by a man in Warhol's work, Mario Montez, who, by the way, can again live out his weakness for bananas (see Mario Banana). Harlot is said to be a caricature of the then popular Jean Harlot cult. A film, an illusion. And therefore all the more real.
